Pros

They tried pretty hard to make everyone happy but I just remember the place being super under staffed which was very not good.

Cons

They were really disorganized with stuff which made it harder to get things done which I and a lot of others found frustrating.

The truth is that we were understaffed in some areas. ToolBox was acquired by SPS Commerce in Jan 2016 and since then, no one has been let go and we have had a number of new positions added. We follow an agile process. As per the agile manifesto, we actually do respond to change over following a ridged plan. Some may think this is disorganized. We’ve had ZERO turnover in development in years, not everyone gets agile. Our ridiculously low attrition rates would argue with what this person is saying. We are anything but disorganized. The owners do not drive 200k cars, they drive pickup trucks and SUV's every day. That is just a bold faced lie. Ridiculous. Our compensation package is very competitive with the market. It’s a performance based culture, bring more value and you are compensated appropriately. We pay for certifications and push people. Some people refuse to get better and grow themselves and post drivel like this instead. Check out our job postings to see how we’re growing!

I'm really sorry you feel this way. I would have appreciated more details in your feedback so I could respond better. We don't actually have many juniors here at ToolBox. We push technology and process to the edge of the envelope and have the best of the best technologists, analysts and merchandisers in the business that help us deliver our products and services. As of the writing of this persons review, Feb 2014, the direction has been crystal clear where we are going both from the merchandising and technology side of the business. We are going to blow the doors off the industry with our new offerings which has been in the works for some time. It's not a complicated recipe here at ToolBox. The best skilled people with great personalities come together to do great things. We are all in it together. We care for one another. We care about this company and want to do things right. Not everyone gets us, we know that but for those that do, it's the best place to be.

I have a real problem with this statement. Respect in the workplace is something the whole leadership team lives and breathes. We do something most companies don't do. We tell people the truth. We are open and honest in our communication, even when it's not great news. The leadership team is not arrogant and you will not find large ego's anywhere at ToolBox. We are real. We rally around one another. Since this person was only at ToolBox for a short time, I can only surmise that they didn't "get us" and it was just a bad cultural fit or they were unable to "swim" (as someone else put it) with us technologically. Yes, we want you to be the best. We are going to give you challenging work to do and we will want you to do it in the time frames that you tell us it can be done in. Having grown up as a developer, that is all I ever wanted... to have challenging work, to work with the best people and have the work I do be appreciated. We do all of that here. I'm sorry your experience here was less than stellar and hope you have found something that suits you better.
